Removing configuration from bullet lists in TinyMCE
# help-with-umbraco
a
So i have a hard time removing the styling options from bullet lists in tinyMCE. I would only like to give the editor the options to insert a basic bullet list, not a square or hollow one. I looks like the "presentation" in tinmyMCE is enabled by a "advanced list" plugin. https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/6/advlist/ But I have no idea how to remove a plugin? Its not configurable on the data type in the backoffice
Seems like it's a bug in umbraco... even though i add the following to appsettings:
Copy code
"RichTextEditor": {
        "Plugins": [ "anchor", "charmap", "table", "lists", "autolink", "directionality", "searchreplace" ],
      },
since the IOptions 
Plugins
are configured like 
public string[] Plugins { get; set; } = Default_plugins;
the options i supply is just appended to the list....

Hack: amend the CSS for the RTE and frontend to make all 3 look exactly the same, no matter which of the 3 they choose.
I'm still dreaming of being able to configure Tiny like one normal configures Tiny when it's not inside of Umbraco. (apparently that's difficult)

yeah thats the way we handle it currently - but i would really like the editor to not have the illution that it should look different. @Sebastiaan I actually made a PR to fix it in umbraco https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/pull/14547 but as Mike hinted it might be a breaking change? I can see how it would be, but also i would argue that it was intended to be customizable, IDK

Yeah that's super breaking. But maybe we just introduce new public methods instead to fix this. I am sure right now you could replace the whole 
RichTextEditorSettings
class with dependency injection? Not sure.
a
hmmm could be yeah ?
hmm atleast 
services.Configure<RichTextEditorSettings>(x => x.Plugins = new[] { "table", "code" });
doesn't work - again due to how default property initializers work. I guess an 'OverridePlugins' configuration would be more fitting?
s
Hmm.. can't replace the class? guess it's not an interface, because it was never meant to be public
More config options are never the answer (almost.. never)
a
No i agree, I'm just stumped on how to fix it so it won't be a breaking change? Even though I'm sure the original developer meant for the Plugins to be replaceable. Since it works with the default initializer for a string setting.
ah but i could do
Copy code
services.Configure<RichTextEditorSettings>(x =>
            {
                x.Plugins = new[] { "anchor", "charmap", "table", "lists", "autolink", "directionality", "searchreplace" };
                x.Commands = new[] { new RichTextEditorSettings.RichTextEditorCommand() { Alias = "bullist", Mode = RichTextEditorCommandMode.Insert, Name = "Bullet list" } };
            });
Okaaaay i'll relent and pull back my PR
s
Ooh..! Cool, maybe this should be documented! 💡
a
Agreed!
